Melbourne is NO place for diets!!!!

I've said it, and will say it again. Melbourne is NO place to visit if you are on a diet! How to? When the produce is fresh, luscious and bountiful ? Even if you don't go out to the restaurants, a stroll in the market is enough to salivate!

On the first day in Melbourne, I went to Prahran Market on Toorak Road... Just couldn't resist the lamb, sausages etc etc on display. Called my sister and told her that I am cooking in the serviced apartment and she was like WHAT??? Shocked that I was gonna cook on the first day. Okay...not really cook cook. I bought a variety of sausages, a seasoned lamb loin, beef shashlik, pita bread, a variety of Mediteranean dips, a variety of desserts, fruits... All I had to do was chuck the whole lot into the oven. It was very very yummy indeed. Forgot to take photographs. Actually, forgot to take photos of quite a number of meals...didn't take of our Yum Cha at Westfield Doncaster, the pho bo in Footscray nor the yummilicious lunch at The Point @ Albert Park - one of the yummiest meal....

Anyway, here's some photos that we managed to take before diving in!!!

The next 4 photos were taken at The Press Club near Collins St somewhere.. The owner chef is the botak judge in the Junior Masterchef Australia. Don't ask me his name. I donno leh.... Donno what the dishes are called also...



Supposedly my "birthday cake" at Koko Black. Think this was at Lygon Street?? Too sleepy to remember.

Some seafood stuff from Claypots over at St. Kilda.....





Cheese Platter at De Bortoli Winery....

The next 4 photos were all taken at Yerring Station Restaurant ... the pork dish was really really good! Absolutely gorgeous!




Needless to say... all this eating has made me put on lots of extra weight! I should really have done what I said in the sponsored post before my trip...,i.e PACK SOME DIET PILLS in my luggage bag! Didn't lah... Now have to really eat light to lose the 2 kg gained over the few days in Melbourne!
